Market Wards, enough is enough

[xAsthenia]

I actually think the Market is a really good idea, I was a bit sceptical about the whole thing when I joined but I think it's better than the AH as it's pretty much the same thing but an original idea.

As for the crashing I think there's a reason why we're not 'Paying' for this at the moment and if we're not paying for it then I have no room to complain about it.

After all this is a new game and has a vast amount of improvements left to be made.

There is a reason AHs are all over the place in MMOs... It's cause they are the current best system! Current system is painful at best.

I tend to always look back as far as Diablo, and thank God for any kind of in game item search mechanic.

But meh people are never happy with what they have.

I know it's only a method of purchasing items from other users, but I think the idea of searching for an item you want and having to shop around in different areas, gives it that opportunity to travel and see what's out there kinda feeling.

Like I said I know it's only about purchasing items but it gives the crafter and traders there own involved world rather than simply putting an item up then someone buys.

It's not for everyone but I like a game that isn't just about bossin mobs and levelling up.
I've seen too many of those boring MMO's.

Having said that it's a good time to mention the fieldcraft work which is in depth where you have to actually work for your results rather than clicking a rock and then he mines it.

I'm going to be honest, I haven't read every single reply on this thread, it was a bit large by the time I came around. I'll read them later.

However, I wanted to post anyway because I want to be noticed too lol. I like the market wards, what they could do is just make it possible to buy straight from the search screen so that players don't have to walk into the actual wards and crash them with people everywhere. However, I also like the option of being able to walk into the wards if I so chose and just browse around like people used to do in Rolanberry in XI. In fact, I think the market wards are a pretty good combo of rolanberry bazaars and AH, it was a pretty cool idea. Just add a buy option from the search screen.

Also having to be next to a bazaar to buy something is annoying, especially when I see something at a camp and the person starts a leve and runs off @_@. I get that it's realistic, but it's one of those realisms that I feel is unnecessary.

Thanks for joining in the convo, even if you haven't been able to wade through the 45 pages of posts >.>'

I'm all for buying from the item search, as long as additional delivery charges are included. Even could have two options, to have the item delivered to your retainer, or to you personally.

Your last comment reminded me of a funny story. I was duoing wolves with someone up around Emerald Moss when we both DCed and died. So I log back in and am running north from the camp, and I get this /tell "STOP!". This guy had been looking for an item I was selling my my bazaar and I zoomed off before he could buy it, and had been chasing me for like three minutes. End of story: I stopped and went back and the transaction was made. Good times

lol nice, yea I've had that happen but the person ported away completely and left me hanging

I hadn't even thought about delivering to my mule to my at all. I was just thinking of making the search screen BE the AH, you just press your item, buy it and it's on you. Not against having an option like you said though, it just hadn't occurred to me at all.

Honestly if you need to write more than 2 sentences to explain how it works it's less handy than a proper AH.
MW will NEVER be better than a real AH. Never ever.

Now it's working like an abandoned failed game design idea that's trying to cater to player's AH demands but as a result it's just a mess of menus.

The good thing about an AH is that everyone knew instantly how it works. Looking for zombies with stars above their heads is about as natural as poking my eye with a fork.

And people seem to be confusing a passable system with a good system. Yeah, you can sell and buy things from market wards. That doesn't mean it's as good as already existing systems, or as good as it could be if it didn't use retainers or rendered shops. It just means it does the bare minimum to be functional.

Unfortunately that level of critical thinking is not allowed on these boards.
